Barry Osgood

To George, Maxine and family.

We send our sympathy and kind thoughts to our friend, George Osgood, who sadly lost his brother, Barry, last night.

Barry was part of the Armourer team and usually visited the National Comps in Perth to help out with the equipment. 

On occasions he would visit Cavs to help George out with the weaponry, and to keep in touch with fencing.

Cavs Notice Board - Cavs AGM results‏

CAVALIERS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


Thanks to all fencers who attended the AGM Saturday 10th November.

President: Position Vacant
Vice President: Mike Middleton
Secretary: Gillian Kings-Lynne
Treasurer: Mahmud Jaffar
Registrar: Isobel Ellis
Coaching Co-ordinator: Kylie Caunt
WAFA Representative: Damien Kuruckchi

Other Help:
Bladez Assistant Registrar: Toby Hodgson
Washing Clothing: Justina Foley has been doing this, any more volunteers?

We thank all those who have offered to continue with their position on the Committee, and welcome the new members coming on for the first time. We thank everyone for their time and effort in keeping the club going - and improving!
While the above people have formally offered their assistance, all club members need to play a part in promoting the best atmosphere possible. See below.

HOW CAN THE GENERAL CLUB MEMBERS HELP CAVS?
Looking after club equipment and packing up after the session.
All hands on deck for this.

Tournaments:
You can offer to help out at tournaments at club and state level - scoring, timekeeping, learning the computer system, setting up and packing away pistes and equipment. Put your name on the Cavs DT Team list so that Melanie has a great army of helpers to round up for the WAFA comps.

Social:
Promote the Cavs Happy Hour. Any ideas for social occasions, Dylan would love to know what you want. Plenty of helpers required to organise these events. Don't forget we have access to the bowling club room and its kitchen facilities now.

Coaching:
If you feel you have a leaning towards Coaching, please let Kylie know and register for the next course coming up in early 2013. We are very short of Coaches at all levels. Don't forget that a coaching course is of great value to your fencing technique, even if you don't want to be a Coach!

Equipment:
What a mess that cupboard gets into? Anyone who helps to keep this gear in order, clothes on hangers, is valued!

If you can help out with loads of washing, please let Drew know. Learn how to fix your own weapons. Label broken club equipment correctly. Learn how to be an Armourer for the future!

Membership:
Pay your membership when it is due. Don't make us have to chase you for money! Remember that Cavs is one of the cheapest sporting clubs in town.

O Day Stalls:
Early each year we need 3 - 4 fencers to help out on the ECU campus stall.

Newsletter:
Any photos of fencers or Cavs events, please send to Gillian who will keep them on hold for the next edition. Any personal write-ups from people who travel to competitions or to overseas fencing venues are always of interest.

WAFA Representation:
Any one interested in helping out with WAFA is welcome to go to its meetings at any time during the year. This is another level of fencing interest, and the more Cavs representation we have at WAFA, the more advantageous it will be for our club.
